Power 5K+ from Link Box

I think the Link Box does have a mini display port option though. maybe that would work?

Might be DP 1.2 only though…

the mini DP is for connection from computer to linkbox, and linkbox turn the signal into hdmi signal

oh, right! I forgot about the lack of a DP on the other side.

how long is your dp cable? I’m wondering if 10ft is too long or not

thanks

@davidwanj pointed out to me that the Vive Link Box power adapter is only 1.5A while the PiMax one is 2.0A. i’m going to get a 2.0A one for the link box and see if that fixes the white flickering pixel issue.

the barrel plug is different sizes between them so I don’t want to just use the PiMax one with the Vive link box.

Glad that worked out for you. Much more elegant too.

you can try cutting it and replace it from the 3in1 cable to the pimax power supply, it should be super easy, like 2 wires

i’m just gonna get an adapter of some kind. I need the inverse of this: https://www.amazon.com/Converter-HTTX-Adapter-Connector-Chargers/dp/B01HAVV2V2/ref=sr_1_6?crid=2R8CWUBBH8GDW&keywords=barrel+plug+adapter&qid=1554397391&s=electronics&sprefix=barrel+plug+adap%2Celectronics%2C173&sr=1-6

I think this would be it: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F616Y7H/ref=sspa_dk_detail_4?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B07F616Y7H&pd_rd_w=WqTOE&pf_rd_p=80559f3c-f83b-49c1-8a72-40f936e9df7a&pd_rd_wg=d6tcy&pf_rd_r=ET6QMVHQT1PB5D4PENA9&pd_rd_r=d1228ac5-56fc-11e9-95ee-65bbade3fd9d

but I don’t want to spend that much on it. I might see if Fry’s has them on my way home.
